Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e+

There are four utilities available to configure the
OkiLAN 6100e+ for TCP/IP printing. You may use
whichever utility is best suited for your needs.
• OkiNet for TCP/IP - Windows TCP/IP print
manager utility. See Chapter 3 of this section for
more information.
• OkiLAN 6100e+ Configuration Utility - This utility is
accessed via telnet. See Chapter 5 of this section for
more information.
In order to configure the OkiLAN 6100e+ via telnet,
you must first assign an IP address to the OkiLAN
6100e+ and verify communication by pinging the
device.
• OkiNet for NetWare - This windows utility must be
run from a Novell NetWare client. See Section III of
this manual for specific information.
• OkiNet for VINES (VPMAN) Utility - This
Windows utility must be run from a Banyan VINES
client. See Section V, for specific information.

Assigning the IP Address

There are eight different methods for assigning an IP
address to the OkiLAN 6100e+: Gleaning, Static Route
Entry, DHCP, RARP, BOOTP and using the OkiNet or
OkiNet for VINES utilities. Gleaning, Static Route
Entry and RARP require the OkiLAN 6100e+ and the
host to be on the same subnet. DHCP and BOOTP also
have this restriction unless the network routers are
configured to pass these requests. The OkiNet and
OkiNet for VINES utilities do not have this restriction.
Gleaning
If an IP address has not been permanently assigned
when the OkiLAN 6100e+ is powered on or reset, it will
look for a ping packet on the network. If the
OkiLAN 6100e+ receives a ping packet within two
minutes, it will accept the IP address in the ping packet
as its own address.
